Event Management

From booking acts, to artist development, to his MacGyver-esque abilities with touring tricks and production equipment, Wayne has a wealth of practical knowledge and experience which he shares with irrepressible enthusiasm and passion. Wayne has been active in the music industry for over 30 years and has undertaken a broad range of projects and roles in Live Performance and Touring from early days mixing sound and handling lighting in local venues, to booking and managing/tour managing acts of all genres, to acting as the CARAS rep on Canada’s east coast, through to his maturation into a world-class production and tour manager for international acts. His extensive experience in international production and tour management includes negotiation, procurement and supervision of both equipment and personnel: developing, maintaining and reconciling budgets and management and artist relations. He has worked closely with large groups of people ranging from managers, artists, agents, promoters, record companies, publicists, musicians, technicians, board members, executive directors, admin staff and volunteers. Wayne has helped grow and guide many artists in the area of Live Performance. He has also managed trade shows for industry conferences and has acted as the East Coast Music Association’s Technical Director since 2007.
